i don't want to end my 2022 strong. i've been fighting for myself the whole year. i've been stretched even to the point of more than i can carry. i just want to end it calm, gentle, & slow. i just want to love myself more until the last day of this year.

in an era. not gonna say which one

before the year ends i would like to make one more bad decision

SO EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE BROKEN MY HEART YET AGAIN I WANTED TO SAY IN ANOTHER LIFE I WOULD HAVE REALLY LIKED JUST DOING LAUNDRY AND TAXES WITH YOU

for some people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30. the way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. your life is not over at 21, i promise you. it’s just beginning

Today is my 32nd birthday. Over the last month, I asked several 90-year-olds what advice they would give to their 32-year-old selves. Here's the life advice everyone needs to hear:

We're seeing and hearing about burnout on a greater and greater scale. And the truth is that self-care isn't enough. We need community care to the greatest extent, and that means systemic change. Because this current system is robbing us of the ability to care for each other.

that’s intimacy

Nobody talks about what it feels like to slowly get out of survival mode. There’s emotional withdrawals, moments of intense confusion, and so much grief that comes with seeing life as it truly is. Big love to everyone going through this.

burnout; I made this drawing years ago but it still resonates with me from time to time. Don't forget to get some rest 🧡

Last week, my friend told me that the nerves and jitters you feel before a big moment are just your body preparing to experience something it hasn’t felt before. And I thought that was such a lovely way to reframe my thinking.

just found out my grandma and grandpa are coming all the way from busan to meet me coming into seoul 🥺💕
